MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a WordPress site running WooCommerce with the VillaTheme 'Customer Coupons for WooCommerce' (woo-customer-coupons) plugin at version 1.3.14 or earlier, AND an attacker holding a valid authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L - e.g. a registered customer/subscriber), since the plugin performs a sensitive action without a proper authorization check. Limiting factors: exploitation is gated on prior authentication (not reachable by fully anonymous users), impact is confined to limited integrity (no data disclosure or denial of service), and the specific feature/endpoint and trigger conditions are not described in the available sources. No user interaction is required. |
| Impact | This is a genuine-but-moderate priority (CVSS 4.3, Medium) broken-access-control / missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862). The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N shows a network-reachable, low-complexity issue that nonetheless requires PR:L - an existing authenticated low-privilege account (e.g. a customer/subscriber) - and yields only limited integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability loss. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a Medium severity that should be patched on a normal cycle rather than as an emergency. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no SSVC decision-point data were supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input; absence of these signals is not evidence of safety but points away from mass automated exploitation. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates the issue - CWE-862 and the reference title ('broken access control vulnerability') describe missing authorization on an action reachable by an already-authenticated user, not a bypass of authentication itself; treat the auth-bypass framing with caution. Overall: a real, authenticated, low-impact access-control defect worth routine remediation, not a drop-everything emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged WooCommerce account (such as a registered customer) sends a crafted request to a plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, performing an action they should not be permitted to and causing limited integrity impact. The precise action and trigger are not detailed in the available sources, and no public exploit code was identified. Exploitation requires an authenticated session but no user interaction and low attack complexity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
Missing authorization in the VillaTheme Customer Coupons for WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions through 1.3.14, allows an authenticated low-privilege user such as a registered customer to perform a sensitive coupon-related action without the required permission check. The flaw is rated CVSS 4.3 (Medium) with limited integrity impact only-no confidentiality or availability impact-and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The trigger endpoint and exact action are not described in the available sources; exploitation requires a WordPress site running WooCommerce and the vulnerable plugin plus a valid low-privilege account.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the provided data; update the Customer Coupons for WooCommerce plugin to a release later than 1.3.14 once VillaTheme publishes a fixed version, and confirm the exact patched release in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/woo-customer-coupons/vulnerability/wordpress-customer-coupons-for-woocommerce-plugin-1-3-14-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve before deploying. Because exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account, a temporary compensating control is to restrict who can obtain such accounts (for example, disable open customer registration or limit it to trusted users), with the trade-off of reduced self-service signup. If coupon functionality is not business-critical, consider disabling the plugin until a fix is confirmed, accepting the loss of that feature. Schedule the change within the current monthly patch cycle per the this_month priority and review coupon-related changes for unauthorized modifications.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress plugin that extends WooCommerce coupon functionality (CPE cpe:2.3:a:villatheme:customer_coupons_for_woocommerce). CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means a sensitive operation is exposed without verifying that the caller holds the required capability, so a low-privileged authenticated user can reach functionality intended for higher-privileged roles. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, a required authenticated low-privilege account, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and only limited integrity impact. Patchstack classifies the issue as broken access control; the supplied tags use 'Authentication Bypass', but the assessed prerequisites require an existing low-privilege account, so this is not anonymous access. The exact vulnerable feature, endpoint, and request sequence are not described in the available sources.
